- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Pour this mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.
- Add the beef broth and BBQ sauce to the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover and set the slow cooker to low heat. Cook for 8 hours or until fork-tender.
- Remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it in a mixing bowl using two forks.
- Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and let it sit for an additional 15-20 minutes on low heat.
- Prepare the slider buns by lightly toasting them if desired.
- Assemble the sliders by placing a scoop of shredded beef on the bottom half of each bun and adding any optional toppings.
- Top with the bun's top half and serve immediately.
